TIFFJPG

Compress a heavyweight archival TIFF into a shareable JPEG that opens everywhere.

TIFF is the archival and print workhorse: it stores images losslessly (or uncompressed), supports high bit depths like 16 bits per channel, and can hold layers and rich metadata — all of which makes TIFF files enormous, often tens of megabytes each. That fidelity is essential for scanning, prepress, and long-term storage, but it is overkill for the web, where browsers do not even display TIFF natively. JPG is the pragmatic counterpart: 24-bit color, DCT-based lossy compression at quality 85, and universal support. Converting TIFF to JPG down-samples high bit depth to 8-bit per channel and applies lossy compression, collapsing a multi-megabyte master into a compact file suitable for email, uploads, and browser viewing.

Convert TIFF to JPG on the canvas

Drop your file onto a Brainy Canvas board, connect the converter node, and download the result. New accounts get free starter credits — enough for roughly 200 image conversions — with no card required.

1

Upload your TIFF

Add a File node to the Brainy Canvas board and upload the TIFF, or connect any node that produces a TIFF image.

2

Connect the Image Converter

Route the file into the Image Converter node and pick JPEG as the format. ImageMagick down-samples and compresses it server-side at quality 85.

3

Download the JPG

A compact JPEG appears on the node within seconds. Download it or feed it into another node to resize or publish.

Why convert

TIFF to JPG, and what changes

  • Slash file size dramatically — a multi-megabyte TIFF becomes a compact quality-85 JPEG for easy sharing.
  • JPG displays natively in every browser, whereas TIFF generally does not render on the web at all.
  • Emailable and uploadable: JPEG sails through size caps and forms that reject huge TIFF files.
  • Universal support across every device, viewer, and marketplace, unlike specialist TIFF tooling.

Under the hood

Technical notes

  • High-bit-depth TIFFs (16-bit per channel) are down-sampled to 8-bit per channel for JPEG; this is imperceptible on screen but discards tonal headroom useful for print retouching.
  • JPEG applies lossy DCT compression, so a lossless TIFF permanently gives up some detail on conversion — keep the TIFF as your archival master.
  • If the TIFF carries transparency or multiple layers, JPG flattens it: alpha is composited onto a solid background and layers are merged into one image.
  • Multi-page TIFFs export the first page as a single JPEG, since JPG holds only one image per file.
